I guess the people throwing NYC's mayoral inauguration bash wanted me to do one more video before 2026...

They're banning the Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero, specifically! (maybe they're just scared of Mr. Robot?). Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF5utY1fBrU

It must have been some large language model which recommended to ban these beautiful devices

Even a run of the mill Android is much more potent at doing something evil

@geerlingguy My guess is that we are going to see a divide between secure/private and big failures. No bans can fix it, only knowledge.

I guess the infosec business is going to thrive.

@geerlingguy Maybe it's just that the GPIO pins could give someone a nasty scratch in a close-quarters melee...
